Red Ash sits at 303 Colorado Street in downtown Austin, an Italian kitchen from owner and executive chef John Carver. The centerpiece is a custom-built wood-burning grill, oven, and plancha, drawing on both Northern and Southern Italian traditions.
The menu runs through fresh handmade pastas, seafood, and locally sourced prime meats cooked on the wood-burning grill and plancha, rounded out with seasonal vegetables. Dishes that come up often among diners include burrata, octopus, garlic bread, osso buco, and bone-in filet. An Italian pastry kitchen turns out desserts daily, and the wine list draws from producers across Italy, Spain, France, Argentina, Chile, and the American West Coast.
The restaurant is split across two levels, with an upstairs mezzanine used for larger parties. Red Ash was named to A Taste of Koko's 2025 Austin best-of list, and The Infatuation scored it 8.8/10 in its Austin coverage.
